All That You Are


This is a turquoise necklace.

It buries me as it lies against my chest
Beaded together the way we once were

It slides against my body in the place you belong
Drapes down the front of me, smiling from the neck you once kissed

You held this necklace, the way you hold my heart
You slid off this accessory, the way you undid my feelings

This necklace moves by memories of our nights together
-Outfits I wore just for you

The turquoise blue looks like your eyes, the ones that once met mine
You look at me different now...
The same way I look at this unworn necklace...
The way it hangs for decoration in my room

A piece of time I’ve hung on a shelf

That’s all you are now, a beaded turquoise accessory.
